My boss told me to always double-check my decimal places on a big set of plans.

He said it after I sent out a drawing for a warehouse in Denver with a beam length off by a factor of ten. I had to call the fabricator the next morning and fix it, which took two hours. That one wrong decimal point could have cost us a lot of money. How do you guys make sure your numbers are right before sending things out?

Cost a lot of money" seems a bit dramatic.

My neighbor's bill was over eight hundred dollars last month. That's more than my car payment. How is that not a lot of money.

Tell me you're out of touch without telling me you're out of touch.
